29 | Could someone explain Job 4:17-21? | Job 4:17 | alanh | 135335 | ||
Job 4:17-21 The word servants here refers to angels; and the idea is, that God was so pure that he did not confide even in the exalted holiness of angels - meaning that their holiness was infinitely inferior to his. God had the highest possible holiness, such as to render the holiness of all others, no matter how exalted, as nothing - as all lesser lights are as nothing before the glory of the sun.How much less - (àó 'aph). This particle has the general sense of addition, accession, especially of something more important;” yea more, besides, even.” Gesenius. The meaning here is, “how much more true is this of man!” He puts no confidence in his angels; he charges them with frailty; how much more strikingly true must this be of man!In them that dwell in houses of clay - In man. The phrase “houses of clay” refers to the body made of dust. They are destroyed from morning to evening. man’s life is excecdingly short, so short that he scarce seems to live from morning to night. They perish forever - Without being restored to life. They pass away, and nothing is ever seen of them again! Without any regarding it - Without its being noticed. How strikingly true is this! What a narrow circle is affected by the death of a man, and how soon does even that circle cease to be affected! Doth not their excellency - go away! - Personal beauty, corporeal strength, powerful eloquence, and various mental endowments, pass away, or are plucked up by the roots; they are no more seen or heard among men, and their memory soon perisheth. They die, even without wisdom - If wisdom means the pursuit of the best end, by the most legitimate and appropriate means, the great mass of mankind appear to perish without it. But, if we consider the subject more closely, we shall find that all men die in a state of comparative ignorance. |

30 | The rise of Antichrist, we are close. | Dan 9:27 | alanh | 124412 | ||
The antichrist has come, "Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour"(1 John 2:18); "Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22); "and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already" (1 John 4:3). As you can see the antichrist, "every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God," is already among us he (they) are not yet to come. Daniel 9 is a prophetic chronology enabling the studious Hebrew to know when the promised Messiah would die for the sins of humanity. The chronology of this prophetic context involves three things: (a) a commencement point; (b) a duration period; and (c) a concluding event. The beginning point was to coincide with a command to “restore and rebuild Jerusalem.” The time span between the starting point and the concluding event was specified as “seventy weeks.” This would be seventy weeks of seven days each — a total of 490 days. Each day was to represent a year in prophetic history. Most conservative scholars hold that the symbolism denotes a period of approximately 490 years Finally, the terminal event would be the “cutting off,” (i.e., the death) of the Anointed One (9:26). [NOTE: Actually, the chronology is divided into three segments, the total of which represents 486½ years. This would be the span between the command to restore Jerusalem, and the Messiah’s death.] If one is able to determine the date of the commencement point of this prophecy, it then becomes a relatively simple matter to add to that the time-duration specified in the text, thus concluding the precise time when the Lord was to be slain. Let us therefore narrow our focus regarding this matter. There are but three possible dates for the commencement of the seventy-week calendar. First, Zerubbabel led a group of Hebrews out of captivity in 536 B.C. This seems to be an unlikely beginning point, however, because 486 years from 536 B.C. would end at 50 B.C., which was eighty years prior to Jesus’ death. Second, Nehemiah led a band back to Canaan in 444 B.C. Is this the commencement point for computing the prophecy? Probably not, for 486 years after 444 B.C. ends at A.D. 42 — a dozen years after the death of Christ. However, in 457 B.C., Ezra took a company from Babylon back to Jerusalem. Does this date work mathematically? Indeed. If one starts at 457 B.C., and goes forward for 486 ½ years, the resulting date is A.D. 30 — the very year of Christ’s crucifixion! In “the midst” of the seventieth week, i.e., after the fulfillment of the 486½ years, the Anointed One was to be “cut off.” This is a reference to the death of Jesus. Isaiah similarly foretold that Christ would be “cut off out of the land of the living” (Isaiah 53:8). But why are the “seventy weeks” of Daniel’s prophecy divided into three segments — seven weeks, 62 weeks, and the “midst” of one week? There was purpose in this breakdown. The first division of “seven weeks” (literally, forty-nine years) covers that period of time during which the actual rebuilding of Jerusalem would be underway, following the Hebrews’ return to Palestine (9:25b). This was the answer to Daniel’s prayer (9:16). That reconstruction era was to be one of “troublous times.” The Jews’ enemies had harassed them in earlier days (see Ezra 4:1-6), and they continued to do so in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. The second segment of sixty-two weeks (434 years), when added to the previous forty-nine, yields a total of 483 years. When this figure is computed from 457 B.C., it terminates at A.D. 26. This was the year of Jesus’ baptism and the beginning of His public ministry. Finally, the “midst of the week” (3½ years) reflects the time of the Lord’s preaching ministry. This segment of the prophecy concludes in A.D. 30 — the year of the Savior’s death. |

31 | Pact with Death Isreal an the Antichrist | Dan 9:27 | alanh | 136508 | ||
Ezekiel 38.11 says nothing about Maygog. Taken in context it is clearly speaking of the invasion of Egypt and Judea by Antiochus. Cf. Daniel 11.31 to 32, 36. This Calmet interprets of Cambyses, his cruelties in Egypt and his evil design to destroy the Israelites. According to John the antichrist existed in the 1st century, and were no more than those whom ..deny the Father and the Son.. In Matthew 24 Jesus is answering two questions posed by His disciples. First, ..When will these things happen.. referring to the statement made by our Lord in verse 2, and ..What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age.. ,referring to the Christian age or the end of the world. He answers the first question in verses 4 to 35 and the second question in verses 36 to 41. Marks account of these events makes two interesting statements. First, in verse 10 he says, .. the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.. Paul in his letter to the Colossians states, .. the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven.. Colossians 1.23. The second statement is in Mark 13.30 and says, .. This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.. A generation is 65 to 80 years. As for ..the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not.. this is none other than the raising of the Roman standards in the temple by Titus in 70CE. There is no evidence in Scripture that a third temple will be built. As for Daniels prophecies in chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 he is merely stating three things. First, when Messiah will come, secondly when He will be cut off, i.e. crucified, and thirdly, what punishment will be imposed on the Jews for their participation in the second event. The book of Revelation which is where I am sure you get the term Magog from is als a book of figurative speech. There are four important things to remember about Revelation. 1. It is a revelation. 1.1 2. to seven churches in Asia. 1.11 3. in signs. He sent and sign.i.fied it. 1.1 4. of things that must shortly come to pass. 1.1 This book like Matthew 24 is about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE. |

32 | Mark 16:15-16 mean? | Matt 28:19 | alanh | 150430 | ||
What did Jesus mean when He said, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned." (Mar 16:15-16) |

33 | Mark 16:15-16 mean? | Matt 28:19 | alanh | 150539 | ||
Then we must believe and be baptized in order to be saved? I assume since Acts 2:38 adds repentance to the mix that is a requirement too. | ||||||
34 | Mark 16:15-16 mean? | Matt 28:19 | alanh | 150612 | ||
Cornelius was not saved before baptism. He was baptized by the Holy Spirit so that Peter would know that "God is no respecter of persons" Acts 10:34. He received the Holy Spirit before he had any faith or belief in Jesus because Peter had not taught them yet (cf. Acts 11:15). If you read through the book of Acts every conversion is ended in baptism. According to Peter it is baptism that now saves us 1 Peter 3:21. Why would Jesus say, "he that believes AND is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16) if baptism is optional or nonessential? | ||||||
35 | Post-Endtime Martyrs | Mark 9:1 | alanh | 124511 | ||
Mark 9:1 "And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power." Jesus here is specifically speaking to His 12 apostles, of which Judas was present. As we know Judas hung himself in remorse for betraying Christ (Matthew 27:5). In the book of Acts chapter one we find the following "and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence. They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:4-8)[note they are asking about an earthly kingdom, the kingdom is spiritual, and Jesus tells them about the power of the H.S. they are to receive]. Acts 2 tells of the kingdom coming with power and some that were standing with Jesus in Mark 9:1 are here. Colossians 1:8 tells us the kigdom is already here. When did it come? Acts chapter 2 on Pentecost with power. |

36 | Only ONE God | Mark 12:32 | alanh | 124515 | ||
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning GOD (Elohim, a plural singular word)created" (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:14) And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. (Acts 5:3) But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5:4) While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God. Note the following from the proceeding verses: 1) Elohim is a plural singular 2) The Word was with God...the Word was God...the Word became flesh (the Word, God, is two different entities) 3) Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit at the same time as to God...they are one and the same yet different. |
